When stressful situations happen (and these days, who isn't anxious?), it's important to take a step back and re-focus on your center.

People do all sorts of things to de-stress. Some watch the weather and others play video games. Some people work out really hard while others watch television.

Stop watching the world fall apart and remember what matters in your sphere of influence. Think of what you have to be grateful for, and embrace it. This is the only life you get, so remember to take the time to enjoy it.
